I Love a Prize

I’m a sucker for a free gift, or a
prize. I love Clinique bonus time, and I showed great restraint by walking
through The Bay today and not succumbing to the temptation to purchase some
cosmetics, just to get the “free” gift.

I’ve been attempting to finish a pair
of mittens by the end of the month, to meet my usual false deadline. As I was
perusing Ravelry, I discovered a challenge to knit a pair of mittens by the end
of September and be eligible to win a prize. I don’t know what the prize is,
but I want to win it. The prize is generously donated by Tullymongan designs.
To meet this deadline, I need to knit an entire mitten that I just cast on last
night. Thankfully, the first mitten is already complete, and the TV watching is
good tonight. (I’m excited to have 2 Broke Girls back!)

A little about me...

I'm an avid knitter and professionally trained designer, based in Toronto, Canada. I draw on a wide variety of influences for inspiration in the design of colourwork mittens. At any given time, I'd rather be knitting. Find me on Etsy at https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/JanetWelshKnits, or on Ravelry at https://www.ravelry.com/designers/janet-welsh-knits.

A little about this blog...

This blog is a past project designed to showcase some of the things I was making, while learning the art of blogging. While no longer an active blog, I have left it up in case people want to explore some of my past thoughts and projects.
